Chestnut Fine Foods & Confections

"Chestnut fine foods has served New Haven for so long with such kindness, mastery and grace. Patricia is the kindest person, and Fred is a master chef, second to none. From crab cakes with sauce to die for, quiche and eggplant parmigiana that is exquisite, to other dishes available for catering! They also have a selection of sandwiches on homemade bread, soup of the day and the best is for last… The cookies are a fan favorite, but be sure to check out the other sweets like their signature butter finger chewy You will not find a ‘finer’ place to eat in New Haven! The staff is incredible, bon appetite !"

"Fresh-baked whole wheat bread -- yum! Why is that so hard to find these days? My first visit was yesterday, and I see a nice deli selection of veggie ingredients too. I'll definitely be back to try that out ... and pick up more bread!"

"Great experience! Excellent food like grandma makes. Everything is made in store including all breads and desserts. A great place to catch up with old friends or to enjoy a nice treat and chat with lived ones. They also cater the finest events as well as the backyard BBQ. DEFINITELY worth stopping in and checking out!"

"The atmosphere is lovely—it feels as if you’re visiting a somewhere familiar, like an old town you used to live or a friend’s (maybe grandma) home. The food is a letdown compared to the atmosphere. Everything is reheated in the microwave, so food is lukewarm and texture is a bit of a mess (eggplant lasagna). Considering the execution of the food, price isn’t justifiable. Tried a variety including Moroccan meatballs, Mac and cheese, crab cakes, and pasta salad—flavor profile is predictable, some are overly salty, and some had bad texture."
